-------------------------------------------------------Kheops solar boat
The solar boat is a symbolic system object of Egyptian mythology. For the Egyptians of Antiquity, the perpetual cycle of the sunrise and the sunset is comparable with the cycle of the life and death. Thus, each morning the sun is born with the East, grows until the zenith, then ages to the occident where it disappears in the kingdom of deaths. This diurnal travel, Re, the solar god, does it on board a boat called "mandjet". It is with the orders of another boat, called "mesektet" which it starts its underground tour and crosses the twelve hours of the night before being able to reappear in the morning.
Hidden since approximately 5000 years, the funerary boat of Kheops was discovered only in 1954 at the foot of its pyramid. The boat, out of wood of cedar, provided with all its tools - oars, cords and cabin - included 1224 spare parts. It is 43,5 m long, its prow rises to 5 m and its poop to 7 m. It is currently exposed in the museum located exactly at the place where it was found.

Salut JP,
I know this place, and it's very interesting to see, and luckly not many people come here. Most visit the pyramids and leave...and see what they miss....this beauty which you captured very good with the availble light.
Well done...very good.
